Give Heart Cells a Beat: Origin Story Gladstone Institutes 2024-02-08 | How did the Exploratorium’s popular exhibit, “Give Heart Cells a Beat,” come to life? It all started with a seemingly simple question from a scientist working in the lab of Bruce Conklin, MD, a senior investigator at Gladstone Institutes: Would it be possible to take beating heart cells from the lab and find a way to synchronize them with the hearts of visitors? Using stem cell technology pioneered by Gladstone Senior Investigator and Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD, the team was able to open a rare window into the microscopic world of the beating human heart.
Give Heart Cells a Beat: Visitor Reactions Gladstone Institutes 2024-02-08 | “Give Heart Cells a Beat,” is one of the most engaging science exhibits at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and it’s made possible through the museum’s scientific collaboration with experts at Gladstone Institutes. Through the exhibit, visitors get a rare window into the microscopic world of the beating human heart—and they are often awed to see that the cells on display begin beating in sync with their own heart. Written cues on the monitor encourage visitors to increase or lower their heart rate to see how the cells react, or to invite a friend to use the handlebars to compare heart rates.
Give Heart Cells a Beat: How It Works Gladstone Institutes 2024-02-08 | At the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, one of the most popular exhibits is “Give Heart Cells a Beat,” which opens a rare window into the microscopic world of the beating human heart. It’s made possible through the museum’s long-running scientific collaboration with Gladstone Institutes. As visitors approach the exhibit, a projected video displays beating heart cells, as many as 200,000, on an oversized monitor. Visitors hold onto handlebar sensors in front of the screen and feel their pulse through their hands. Then, within seconds, they watch as the heart cells on the screen begin beating in sync with their own heart. Learn how modern stem cell technology makes this possible.
Give Heart Cells a Beat: Overview Gladstone Institutes 2024-02-08 | At the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, one of the most popular exhibits is “Give Heart Cells a Beat,” which opens a rare window into the microscopic world of the beating human heart. The exhibit is made possible through a long-running collaboration with scientists at Gladstone Institutes. With this exhibit, the team created the first interactive museum experience that allows the public to interact directly with living cardiomyocytes, or heart muscle cells.

2023 Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize Awarded to Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, PhD Gladstone Institutes 2023-12-07 | On November 16, 2023, Gladstone Institutes honored the 2023 Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize winner, Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, PhD. Zernicka-Goetz received the award and gave a scientific lecture based on her recent projects and groundbreaking research. A pioneering stem cell scientist, Zernicka-Goetz is celebrated for her work uncovering fundamental mechanisms that drive the development of mammalian embryos, which led to the creation of human embryo models that self-assemble from pluripotent stem cells in a dish. The 3D models, which develop brain structures and a beating heart, appeared in Nature’s list of “Seven technologies to watch in 2023.”Zernicka-Goetz is a professor of mammalian development and stem cell biology in the Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, as well as the Bren Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at the California Institute of Technology.The Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize recognizes individuals whose original translational research has advanced cellular reprogramming technology for regenerative medicine. The prize was established in 2015 through a generous gift from the Betty and Hiro Ogawa Family. It also recognizes the importance of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), discovered by Gladstone Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD. Chosen by a committee of peers, the awardee receives an unrestricted prize of $150,000 USD. The prize is supported by Gladstone and Cell Press.
